Hello,

I use to joke with Anne (see thread about wrapping/banding.) about being the control rat (I have no PD - hopefully, never know if sth like that will fall on one or not but a sort of chronic fatigue.) about being a control rat. I am a kneejiggler. And it always raises questions like "are you nervous?" No, not especially. Like Rick says just get it going and it continues by itself.

Seeeeeriously, here is something that may interrest you BEMM (and maybe others)

RLS is somewhat related to PD, a far cousin, and not degenerative. It is uncomfortable. Severe RLS is treated with dopamine agonists since it is also due to a lack of dopamine. It is classified among the sleep disorders because it causes insomnia but the discomfort not only occurs during sleep.

Regards
Karine
